Punto Banco Standards
Baccarat chemin de fer is gambled on with eight decks in a dealing shoe. Cards below ten are valued at their printed number while Ten, Jack, Queen, King are zero, and Ace is one. Wagers are placed on the ‘bank’, the ‘player’, or for a tie (these are not actual people; they simply represent the two hands that are dealt).
Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘bank’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand is the total of the cards, however the first number is dumped. For example, a hand of five and six has a score of one (5 plus 6 equals 11; dump the 1st ‘one’).
A 3rd card may be given out based on the following rules:
- If the player or banker achieves a score of 8 or nine, the two players stay.
- If the gambler has less than 5, she takes a card. Players otherwise stand.
- If the gambler stands, the bank hits on a total lower than five. If the player takes a card, a table is used to figure out if the banker stays or takes a card.
Baccarat Odds
The bigger of the two totals wins. Winning bets on the house pay out 19:20 (even money minus a 5% commission. The Rake is tracked and paid off once you leave the game so ensure you have funds left just before you head out). Winning bets on the player pay 1:1. Winning bets for tie normally pay 8 to 1 but occasionally 9:1. (This is a bad wager as ties occur lower than 1 in every ten hands. Be wary of gambling on a tie. However odds are astonishingly better for nine to one vs. 8:1)
Played properly punto banco gives relatively good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Scheme
As with all games Baccarat has a few familiar myths. One of which is close to a misconception in roulette. The past isn’t a harbinger of events about to happen. Tracking past results at a table is a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that was cut down for our stationary needs.
The most accepted and definitely the most acknowledged strategy is the 1-3-2-6 method. This tactic is used to build up profits and minimizing risk.
Start by placing 1 unit. If you succeed, add another to the 2 on the table for a sum total of 3 units on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the game table, subtract four so you keep two on the 3rd bet. If you come away with a win on the 3rd wager, deposit two to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the 4th round.
If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A profit on the 1st round followed by a loss on the second brings about a hit of two. Success on the 1st two with a loss on the third gives you with a gain of two. And success on the 1st three with a defeat on the 4th means you balance the books. Succeeding at all four wagers leaves you with 12, a take of ten. This means you will be able to lose the second bet 5 instances for every favorable run of four rounds and in the end, are even.
